The Air Staff was reorganized in 2006 to be numbered in accordance with the Joint Staff system.[1] For the most part, the Joint Staff numbering system applies to the air staff. The Air Force separated Analysis and Assessments from A8 to create a separate directorate, A9, then in 2008, followed up with the creation of a separate directorate, A10, for the Air Force's nuclear mission.[2]

Talk Show Hosts Who Treat Their Staff Like Trash

Jon Stewart Reads Trump's Next Batch Of Executive Orders

Transcription

On air, talk show hosts are charismatic, bubbly,
and seem to genuinely enjoy conversation.
But there's a dark side to some of these charismatic
hosts. From sexual harassment, to impossible
demands, these notable talkers have been accused
by former staffers, of all of it!
Steve Harvey
Host and comedian, Steve Harvey is still dealing
with the fallout from his "no popping in"
memo. Blogger Robert Feder first reported
on the sharply-worded memo, in which Harvey
institutes a strict appointment-only rule
for communicating with him. He also demands
dressing room privacy, writing, "IF YOU OPEN
MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.” Also: no
stopping him in hallways, or bothering him
while he’s in the makeup chair. Sounds harsh!
But Harvey didn’t think so!
In a phone interview with Entertainment Tonight,
Harvey described his work life as a “prison,”
likening it to not being able to walk to his
car without people hassling him — a hilariously
tone-deaf way to complain about being the
multi-millionaire head of a television program.
He wrapped things up by saying, "Everyone,
do not take offense to the new way of doing
business. It is for the good of my personal
life and enjoyment."
He’s about to shut out all of Chicago, as
the show moves to LA to become just Steve.
Harvey, byeeee...
Rosie O'Donnell
Before Ellen danced her way to reigning queen
of daytime talk, Rosie O'Donnell wore the
crown from 1996 to 2002 with The Rosie O'Donnell
Show. But the scandal arose during her disastrous
return to the format with The Rosie Show on
Oprah's OWN network.
According to The Daily Beast, one staffer
bluntly categorized the show, "Such a f***ing
hellhole." Others cited strained working conditions,
including a time when O'Donnell allegedly
berated her director, Joe Terry, in front
of everyone. The source said, "She scolded
him in front of a live audience for using
the wrong camera shots, suggesting he didn't
know what he was doing." She also got visibly
frustrated with her bandleader, Katreese Barnes,
when she was unable to "Play obscure Broadway
songs off the cuff right when she [Rosie]
named them on live TV." In her own defense,
Barnes said, "My work speaks for itself. I'm
not upset that I don't know Into the Woods
by heart. A little heads-up would have been
nice."
And when the show was canceled after just
5 months on the air, O'Donnell wasn't even
around when her staff got the news. According
to The Daily Beast, "She was in New York,
tweeting about what a fun day she was having
on Broadway."
Wonder if she got mad at Hamilton for not
knowing the songs in her head.
Montel Williams
By October of 1998, Montel Williams was facing
a variety of sexual harassment charges. Two
female former-staffers told Jet that Williams
"often grabbed co-workers' buttocks, regularly
called women 'whores' and other derogatory
names, and conducted meetings in his underwear."
And another former employee, Ernesto Medina,
claimed the legendary talk show host "made
fun of him for being gay, gave him embarrassing
'sex toys' and grabbed his butt.”
Variety reported that each of the women dropped
their charges, but it appears Ernesto Medina's
claims still stand. And until those "embarrassing
sex toy" claims get sorted out, we're leaving
Williams right here on this list.
Right alongside this next Williams...
Wendy Williams
Wendy Williams has been plagued with employee
drama ever since she was a DJ. In 2008, her
talent booker, Nicole Spence, filed a lawsuit
against Williams, alleging that she "aided
and abetted the harassment and abuse" that
Spence and other female employees suffered
at the hands of Williams' then-husband and
manager, Kevin Hunter. Spence alleged that
Hunter repeatedly propositioned her for sex,
and that Williams did nothing to dissuade
his behavior, even offering to take Spence
shopping so she could, quote, "dress like
a sexy little b***h as Mr. Hunter demanded."
Spence's lawsuit was settled, as was a class
action lawsuit brought against Williams and
her daytime chat show, by former intern, Anthony
Tart. According to Deadline, Tart alleged
that he and around 100 other show interns,
over the years, mostly spent their time "washing
dishes, getting coffee, picking up art supplies,
stocking printers, throwing out garbage, and
creating a tape library." Williams' parent
company, Lionsgate, agreed to a $1.3 million
dollar settlement, which included, quote,
"all former interns of the studio," — around
1,800 people — according to Deadline.
Guilty conscience, Wendy?
​David Letterman
David Letterman admitted to his own behind-the-scenes
sexual misconduct at the show when he outed
a would-be blackmailer live on air.
“I have had sex with women who work for
me on the show”
The announcement was shocking, but shut down
controversy over the late night host's questionable
employer-employee romances. But other former
staffers have claimed that regardless, Letterman
wasn’t that great to be around.
The New York Daily News published former staffer
anecdotes from Jason Zinoman's book, Letterman:
The Last Giant of Late Night. Former head
writer Tim Long had such anxiety over Letterman's
"constant rejections and dark moods" that
he "chewed Coke cans and swallowed pieces
of tin." Another longtime staffer said, "There
comes a moment when he turns on you." His
longtime girlfriend and one-time head writer
for Late Night, Merrill Markoe, claimed Letterman
would close himself off in his office and
complain to her, saying, "The last 10 months
have included a nightly discussion about what
a failure we are.” A beloved performer and
comedic genius, Letterman sure sounds like
Mr. Hyde off the air.
Maybe he was just frustrated he wasn’t allowed
to grow his beard.
Johnny Carson
Like Letterman, Johnny Carson was an iconic
host of late night TV who also suffered from
what appeared to be some pretty dark personal
demons when he wasn't performing. In a column
for The Hollywood Reporter, Dick Cavett once
wrote, "It's a little obvious to say I think
he was only happy for that hour or hour and
a half of his day, but I think it was true."
Carson's off-screen temper has been well-documented
by his former lawyer, Henry Bushkin, who wrote
a scathing expose of the former Tonight Show
host, claiming Carson once described himself
as “I’m a s---. I have three kids with
my first wife and I don’t see any of them...I
can’t quit smoking and I get drunk every
night and I chase all the p---- I can get.”
Carson's iciness translated directly to his
staff, with whom he barely interacted, according
to a 1978 New Yorker profile. And there's
the story of Art Stark, Carson's longtime
NBC producer who stood by Carson's side while
he bitterly fought the network for more control
over The Tonight Show. When Carson got his
way, he immediately forced Stark's resignation,
claiming, "He wanted another producer, unconnected
with NBC." If "pretty crappy" was the answer
in a Carnac the Magnificent sketch, the question
in the envelope would have been: “What was
it like to work for Johnny Carson?” But
he may have said it best in his farewell monologue:
“I’m gonna have to be very honest with
you, I don’t know if I can take another
night of this.”

Joint Staff organization

Air Staff Organizational Chart

For reference, the organization of the Joint Staff follows. See full article.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff organization includes the following departments where all the Joint Staff's planning, policies, intelligence, manpower, communications and logistics functions are translated into action.[3]

Rapid Capabilities Office

The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, located in Washington, D.C., reports directly to a board of directors chaired by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. Board members also include the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition. The office responds to Combat Air Force and combatant command requirements.[5]

The RCO reports to a board of directors comprising the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics and the secretary and chief of staff of the Air Force. The office is staffed with a variety of functional specialists who form a collaborative melting pot of expertise. Inherent in the accomplishment of its mission to deliver capability is intent to experiment, within the bounds of statute, to discover and recommend new methods, processes, and techniques for the Air Force and the Department of Defense to conduct business in an efficient fashion.[5]

The Secretary of the Air Force activated the office 28 April 2003. One of its first projects was to deploy significant upgrades to the Integrated Air Defense System, now operational around the National Capital Region. Currently, RCO is working on the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle to demonstrate a reliable, reusable, unmanned space test platform for the United States Air Force. Additionally, RCO, in conjunction with MIT Lincoln Lab and other partners, is developing a sensitive airborne receiver system. The system is scheduled for in-theater evaluation during the summer of 2009. The RCO Red Team assesses current and future threats to U.S. combat operations by providing independent technical assessments.[5]
